AI is no longer just about building models.
Today's AI applications require security, evaluation, observability, governance, and continuous improvement to succeed in production.
Join experts from Microsoft and Amazon as they share practical lessons from building, securing, evaluating, and operating AI-powered systems at scale.
As AI applications evolve from prototypes into real-world products, engineering teams face new challenges:
• How do you protect AI systems from prompt injection, tool abuse, and emerging agent threats?
• How do you evaluate whether an LLM is actually performing well in production?
• How do you monitor, debug, and improve AI agents over time?
• How do you fine-tune models for domain-specific workflows and measurable business impact?
This session brings together three critical pillars of modern AI engineering:
🔒 AI Security
⚙️ AgentOps & Observability
📊 LLM Evaluation & Fine-Tuning
